Need a Job? DraftFCB Is Hiring
Here’s an interesting little piece of tidbit that I came across just recently.

What else can you say about using Twitter for business?
I’ve blogged a lot about using Twitter and other social media applications/sites for business purposes, so I’m not going to bore you with a lecture.

I had been meaning to do a post on specific roles and how those folks in the web profession are being slowly invaded by outside influences (e.g. clients, other departments, consumers, etc.).
